Patea, This day.

The natives, acting under instructions from Parihaka, having rafused to allow gravel to be taken from the Waimate plains, at the side of the Waingongoro river, to repair the road. William Williams and Katene went to talk the matter over, ar.d though the opposition of the natives was strong, and violent language was used, the gravel pits were opened, and carting commenced. The opposition natives look upon this as literally taking away the land, and offered strongsr opposition than at the commencement of the survey. As, however, their prophet Te Whiti has promised that everything shall be restored to them m March, they have concluded to let the gravel be taken m the meantime.
